Be it known that l, 'Jnssn TrroMiis CAMP- BELL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Elbridge, in the county of 4Obion 'and State oit' Tennessee, have invented a new and useful Sanitary Churn, of which the following is a specification. y

The device forming the subject matter ot this application is a churn, 'and one object of the invention is `to provide a churn in which he cream may be housed securely and in a sanitary way, beyond the reach 'ot flies and other insects.

Another object of the invention is'to provide novel means whereby the cream may be cooled or heated, as occasion kmay demand.

It is within the province of' the disclosure' to improve generally and to enhance the utility of devices of that type to which the invention appertains.

Y With the above and other` objects in view, which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination andV arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that, within the scope of what is claimed, changes in the precise embodiment of the invention shown can be made Without departing lrom the spirit of the invention.

' In the accompanyingdrawings c* Figure 1 shows in longitudinalsection, a

device constructed in yaccordance with the Fig. 2 is a cross section on the" Fig. 1; and Fig. 3 is a top plan invention; line 2-2 of showing the stopper.

The device forming the subject matter of this application comprises a body 1 provided with a bottom 2. A tube 3 upstands ifromthe bottom 2 and defines a cream compartment 4 and a chamber 5 about the compartment 4. An annular lid 6 is supported on the upper end of the body 1 and on the 3 and constitutes a closure for the upper end'of the chamber 5. There is an opening 7 in the lid 6, theopeni ing communicating with the chamber 5. The

opening 7 is closed by a door 8 pivoted at 9 to the lid 6 to move parallel thereto. i funnel-shaped cap 10 is providechthe same havinga shoulder 11 resting on the lid 6,

the shoulder merging into .a yflange 12 which. the' tube 3 to hold fits in the upper end of the cap 10 in place against lateral movement. The numeral 12 denotes ademe-like top supported on the lid 6 in alinement with Patented J une 22, 1,9270.

the body 1, the top 12 having a' marginal flange 14, which, cooperating with the body 1 prevents the top Vfrom moving laterally with respect'to the body. The top 12 terminates in a neck 15 having an opening 16. A dasher operates in the creamcompartment 4. rFhe dasher may be variously constructed. It may embody a disk-like foot 17 having openings `18, a tubular socket 19 being secured to the foot. A rod 20' is received slidably, for adjustment, in the socket 19 and is connectedthereto by a pin 21 or the like. The .handle formed by the parts 19 and 20 extends upwardly through the ,tunnel-shaped cap 1() and out of the domeshaped top 12. The construction'is such that the length of the dasher handle may be varied at will, since the rod 2O may be telethe pin 21. A bail 30 is pivoted in ears 31 carried by the sides of th`e body 1, the bail being supplied with an intermediate handle 32. There is an opening 34 in the body 1, forming an exit lfor the material in the chamber 5, the opening 34 being controlled by-a closure plug 35.

In practical operation,`either cold or hot water may bel inserted into the chamber 5 by way of the opening 7, `the door 8 being closed. The cap 10 is mounted in place, top 12 is placed as shown in Fig. 1, and the churning operation is proceeded with. The plug 35 may be withdrawn to permit the contents of the chamber 5 to drain away. While the cream is being churned, hot water ordinarily is placed in the chamber 5, and after the churning operation has been concluded, the hot water may be drained away through the opening 35, cool water being substituted. An examination of Fig. 1 of thewdrawings will show that the churn is so constructed that it will be thoroughly sanitary, in that all parts of the churn may be separated readily for cleaning,` and further, on account of the fact thatiliesand other insects cannot gain' access 4to the cream.

the churning operation, the cream will be the received byl the funnel-shapedv cap 1() and will be returned to the cream compartment 4. Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is 1. A churn comprising a body provided Awith Va tube defining a cream compartment and a chamber aboutk the cream compartnient; an annular lid constituting a closure for the upper end of the chamber; a funnelshaped cap constituting a closure to the upper end of the cream Compartment; a dome-like top supported on the body and inolosing` the cap; and a dasher operating in the oreain compartment and extended outwardly through the cap and throughthe top.

2. A churn comprising a body provided with a tube defining a Cream compartment and a chamber about the cream compartment; an annular lid extended between the tube and the body and constituting a Closure for the upper end of the Chamber, the lid having` an opening; a movable door controlling the opening; a funnel-shaped cap supported on the lid and having a flange extended downwardly into the cream compartment; a dome-like top supported on the lid;

and a dasher operating in the cream compartment and extended outwardly through the cap and the top.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
